On July 20, LP Building Solutions marks its 54th anniversary, celebrating more than five decades of innovation that have helped shape modern home construction.
From launching North America’s first OSB mill in 1979 to introducing LP® SmartSide® Trim & Siding—now one of the fastest-growing siding brands in the U.S.—LP has built a legacy of solving real-world challenges for builders, contractors, and homeowners.

Today, we offer a portfolio of high-performance building solutions spanning siding, air and water barriers, sub-flooring, sheathing, and outdoor building products. Sustainability continues to be a driving force, with 93% of LP’s North American net sales in 2025 generated by carbon-negative products.
As housing faces new challenges around affordability, resilience, and sustainability, LP is looking ahead with the same innovative spirit that has defined the company since 1972.
Why it matters: LP’s 54-year journey offers a timely look at how one company helped transform the building products industry—and where construction innovation is headed next.
